This incredible donation will enable us to develop and deliver our Beautifully Blind project, which teaches women with a vision impairment how to apply make-up independently. Each tutorial covers a different part of the face and we will teach our learners how to use the best technique for them over a 12-week period. This course is a first of its kind and challenges society’s perceptions of vision impairment.
As well as learning a new skill, we want to instil women with the confidence to apply make-up again or in some instances for the very first time and promote their independence in a safe learning space. Our hope is that these women go on and become champions and mentors for future learners.
The funding will be used to identify women, develop/deliver the tutorials and support people to access the training whether that be remotely or face to face. It will also enable us to produce an accessible handbook for all completed learners and a step-by-step audio and video guide. We aim to deliver three courses, reaching over 30 women, with our future goal to offer it to all women with a vision impairment regardless of where they live in Wales.
